In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we're doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation.
This week’s global flashpoints highlight the United States’ increasingly aggressive foreign policy and the escalating conflicts around the world. In Washington, the House prepares to vote on a war powers resolution aimed at preventing President Trump from unilaterally launching military action against Venezuela, even as US forces continue operations in the Eastern Pacific and across the globe. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East intensify with Israeli raids in Syria, rising deaths of Palestinian prisoners, and continued strikes in Lebanon. The US also signals support for Ukraine with NATO-style guarantees, conducts repeated bombings in Somalia, and engages in tentative diplomacy with Iran. From Latin America to the Middle East and Africa, 2025 is shaping up as a year of heightened militarization and geopolitical uncertainty.
